Panel, by Norma Starszakwna

Add to album

This wall-hung silk panel was made by the Scottish artist Norma Starszakwna in 1986.

The panel has batiked, hand-painted and formed silk in three red shapes on a black background. Three-dimensional formed silk stones or runes were applied to the surface. The panel is on a canvas backing with a wooden support and aluminium framing.

During the 1980s the Scottish Development Agency purchased a number of hand-crafted items for its Scottish Crafts Collection. The aim of the collection was to inform the public of craft production in Scotland through touring exhibitions and education programmes. When the Scottish Craft Council was wound up, the collection was transferred to the National Museums of Scotland.
